Throughout the years, it seems as if expecting parents are making sure that their baby showers and gender reveals and bigger and better than ever.
Expectant parents out there have shared their extravagant reveals online - from helicopters to lighting up iconic landmarks in blue or pink.
Parents are, therefore, making sure that the gender reveals of their children are unique - and one pregnant woman has done exactly that.
In fact, she didn't reveal the gender at all, which left guests at her baby shower in disbelief with the surprise.
A woman shared a video on TikTok of her expecting friend - after she was left gobsmacked by the unique surprise.

"Surprise gender reveal at baby shower…" They captioned the post beside a blue and pink heart emoji.
Having passed five million views to date, the video shared insight into the baby shower.
In unison, the crowd counted down excitedly for the woman to pop the gender balloon - and ultimately reveal the sex of her unborn child.
However, little did they know, but they would be getting a bigger shock than they anticipated.
At the initial pop, the crowd screamed in excitement, only to realise the balloon was filled with multicoloured confetti.
"Just kidding!" The woman squealed.
The video caught glimpses of some of the crowd doubling over in laughter - and the pregnant mum-to-be - who clearly wanted to keep up the secret from her family and friends.
"We still don’t know what she’s having :) she fooled us all," her pal added.
Excited users took to the comment section to gush over the baby shower - despite guests not receiving the answer that they initially anticipated for.
One user proclaimed: "This is THE BEST 'reveal' yet!"
"You waited this long might as well wait till baby is born," another joked beside a laughing and blushing emoji.
"Awww so nice when parents actually wait till the birth for the gender reveal," a third wrote.
"I love that you didn’t reveal," someone else gushed beside pink and blue heart emojis.
